Following some private e-mail conversations (which were
not flame-fest but enlightening and friendly), I should point out
that I *DO* object to leaders looking down enough to disturb
the embrace (in open embrace either by hiding their centre,
in close embrace by pushing the follower with the head or even
in the most extreme case turning it into a "head and arms"
connection).
